Agrypina

Who is Agrypina?

Agrypina was a Lithuanian noblewoman from the Gediminids dynasty. She was daughter of Grand Duke of Lithuania Algirdas and his first wife Maria of Vitebsk. In 1354 she married Duke of Suzdal Boris, son of Konstantin and brother of Dmitry. This fact is only mentioned in Suprasl Chronicle, a transcription of the first Lithuanian Chronicle. One Russian Chronicle confirms the fact of the marriage, but does not record bride's name. That is the only reliable information available about Agrypina. Her husband attempted to take control over Nizhny Novgorod, but failed when he was opposed by Dmitri Donskoi, Prince of Moscow.
